Instead, it was an opportunity that drastically changed the direction of her life. It has unleashed parts of her heart she had hidden for so long. It was able to help her find her truth and break up from her past self.

She even added that she is not exactly sure how two people on opposite sides of the world could have more in common. Her being born in America while Adam is in Australia is just so astonishing, as if they were meant to meet and be together.
That is why when things between them started to develop, Sarah immediately realized that Adam was indeed her soulmate, the forever she longed for.
Sarah then stated that she didn’t realize she had never loved deeper, harder, and more ferociously before. Now that she is already with Adam, she finally realizes many things she wasn’t before. That is why she is overly grateful for Adam coming into her life.
